From Quiz Home

Answer: Citadel

Citadels, often shaped like stars or polygons, were once the primary defensive fortifications of the middle ages and renaissance in Europe. Most often, they were integrated into the city's outer wall because doing so allowed more space than putting them into the middle of the city, and also saved on construction costs as they could share half of the wall with the actual city wall. In addition, this position allowed for the inhabitants of the citadel to directly leave both into and out of the city. The star-shaped arrangement was frequently chosen because it offered the best defense against cannon fire.
